BOHICA!
Do what the Zimbabwe government is doing. Print counterfeit US dollars.
Seriously, the elementary school does not need electricity. I bet many FRiends didn’t have a/c in their classrooms. How about teaching kids to read from a textbook and write on paper instead of using a computer. It’s been done that way for hundreds of years. Save electricity by serving sandwiches for lunch or bring a lunch from home.
Of course, the best way to bring them back from the brink is to stop government corruption.
People keep talking about taxpayers but the government has decoupled taxation and spending. The government spends as much as it wants by borrowing. As long as the government has the power to spend deficits it will spent more and more. People don’t vote against it because they don’t feel the pain of covering the spending with necessarily large taxes. Imagine the government spending at the levels it does and having to collect the taxes in the same year. People would be extremely pissed. But with deficits they can spend without pain. Just like drug addicts they keep using and using and ignore the inevitable pain that comes afterwards.
Termites in the walls should be way down the list of problems. Surely, there must be a parent who owns a pest control business or has access to such. People used to come together to help the community.
Let the kids learn to count by squishing termites. If Jose squished one termite and Maria squished 6 termites, how many squished termites are there?
Entomology could be the science teacher’s next hands on project.
The shop teacher can have the students fix the fans and reconstruct the termite damaged walls. Seriously, what’s so difficult?
Please help me understand, as it makes no sense to me.
If Congress doesn't bail PR out, we'll need to bail them out.
I don't get it.
I wonder if they have contacted the Clinton Global Crime Initiative, George Soros, Michael Bloomberg, or the other Progressives and Progressive charities .... seems like this would be right up their alley .... bailing out their fellow socialists/Progressives?
“Garcia said that Puerto Rico is not asking for a bailout and has not been offered one...... ‘If Congress does not act then we will need a bailout, and it will be very expensive to U.S. taxpayers,’ he said.”
How about, “Hey, Garcia—you ran up the debt, you pay it off. The U.S. taxpayers aren’t paying any of it.”
